What do we love most about our neighborhood? The fact that we live on a HUGE lot so close to the city center. It's like having a piece of the country in town.

We loved staying in Marcella's Airstream! It was perfect for us in that it provided a cozy place for us to sleep and was in a great location... plus, making friends with all the animals was a great bonus. :) Communication and booking was also extremely easy, which we appreciated so much, given that we were aiming for a relaxing trip. This was our favorite Airbnb stay thus far... we would stay here again in a heartbeat and hope to sometime in the very near future!

Hanna2015-12-02T00:00:00Z

What a CHARMING place!! I have bragged about staying here to so many people! The airstream is just as pictured: cozy, colorful, homey, and I loved the string of lights in the bathroom! The yard is as magical as the airstream itself: a meandering garden that gives privacy and space when having morning coffee outside ... and the pig! What can I say? - the pig snorted and whimpered and welcomed me back every time I entered the yard (ok, ok, maybe she was looking for food ...), and the chickens and cute dogs made me feel all the more welcomed. Access to Austin downtown is close and easy. Loved the location, the hosts, the vibe, and Marcella's homemade toffee. (oh really ... YUM). This place is A++++.

sue2015-06-19T00:00:00Z

Had a fantastic time here. Loved aligning my values with my dollars. Super clean and cozy and the decor is fantastic. Enjoy the backyard and the animals.

Vic2014-09-05T00:00:00Z

Great spot!

Caitlin2017-03-31T00:00:00Z

This little airstream was the epitome of cute! I loved my stay here while visiting Austin. Marcella was a great host and made my visit comfortable. I enjoyed making a few new furry and feathered friends, too. Can't wait to head back to Austin!

Tanya2014-04-25T00:00:00Z

We had the best time staying at Marcella and Meredith's adorable airstream! The location was great in terms of navigating to tourist spots around Austin but still having a homey feel. They were wonderful hosts and provided everything you could possibly need, including a handmade guest book full of suggestions on where to eat, and delicious homemade toffee! Our hosts were friendly but respectful of our privacy. The animals, especially Shiner the pig, were such a fun bonus to the experience. We truly loved staying at this charming gem of a place and will definitely book it again the next time we're in Austin.

Lorien2015-02-02T00:00:00Z

My friend and I loved the quaint airstream. The complimentary toffee was gone the first day, and the coffee they supply is incredible. You would be hard pressed to beat the location; close to a nice HEB, a liquor store, and I-35. We enjoyed the dogs, cats, chickens, and pig. Kids were well behaved when in the backyard, which is huge and very private with her large trees. A cherry on top were the recycling bins. :).

Christen2015-04-18T00:00:00Z

Marcella was a hospitable and lovely host! We loved the airstream, the animals and the beautiful gardens. I'd highly recommend staying in this unique Austin listing.

This was our second visit and just as great as the first. Bill was very gracious and helpful. The Hideaway is in excellent condition with all the highest quality decor and amenities. Having a private pool to come back to after a day of work was just wonderful. Highly recommended.

Harvey2015-07-30T00:00:00Z

Bill made everything so easy that didn't even have to bother him during our whole 5 day stay. His place is definitely a clean, handsomely decorated, high-end modern space. The design is well thought out, and the pool was the icing on the cake! We could not have been more pleased with our stay. The location was perfect as well. We will definitely back next time we're in Austin!

Jason2015-05-12T00:00:00Z

The house was amazing and Bill was kind enough to leave us with coffee and beer. The rooms were well done and all the linens were really clean. Even thou we didnt use the pool, it was beautiful. I would definitely recommend the house to anyone

Vineet2015-07-17T00:00:00Z

How did we love the Hideaway? Let me count the ways!! Amazing location, spa-like retreat, groovy art - I was in HEAVEN! Thank you, thank you, thank you! We will be back!

Jacey2015-08-01T00:00:00Z

Megan2015-07-27T00:00:00Z

Beautiful! SUPER comfortable bed.

Jennie2017-08-15T00:00:00Z

Our beautiful, minimalist Tiny House is a comfortable home base for tourists and business travelers. We look forward to hosting you in the heart of East Austin, just 1.5 miles from the convention center, and 10 minutes from the airport.

The Kanga Tiny House comfortably sleeps two people, sharing a queen bed. If you are traveling with a third person, or simply need extra sleeping space, we have a twin-sized air mattress available for you to borrow, or a pac'n'play for a little one. (Please ask for this in your reservation request if you need it). Floor space is limited, so we may rearrange furniture to comfortably accommodate your group.
Check-in time is 3pm or later. Access is through a keyless lock for which you'll be provided a code prior to approval, so late night check-ins are not a problem. Check-out time is 12pm.
Heads up - spring 2016 is dedicated to wrapping up landscaping around the Kanga Tiny House. The paved walkway was a huge improvement (completed January 2016) but has left us with large amounts of mulch and crushed slate, that are awaiting their permanent homes. Please excuse the "under construction" nature of the back yard. It does not affect guest access at all.
The Kanga Tiny House is roughly 200 square feet, and features:
- AT&T GigaPower Internet (through Airport Extreme)
- We do not have a TV but you can certainly stream your favorite shows with your Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, iTunes, etc. account.
- USB Charger for your devices
- Wireless Charging Pad from Ikea (your device must be wireless enabled)
We keep the place well stocked with all of the basics, as well as extra towels and blankets if needed.
We are:
- 15 minutes (6.6 miles) from Austin Bergstrom International Airport
- 5 minutes (1.5 miles) from the Austin Convention Center
- Approx. $6 or $7 Uber/Lyft ride from downtown.
- 1.7 miles to Austin's famous Rainey Street bar and restaurant district. We recommend taking Uber/Lyft unless you feel like a 30 minute walk.
- 3 blocks away from the Lady Bird Lake trailhead on Pleasant Valley, for walking/biking/running (by Longhorn Dam)
If you enjoy exploring on foot, or alternative transit options like bikes and buses, this is a good spot for you. You'll be just one block away from Cesar Chavez St, a major thoroughfare that goes into downtown, where there's an eclectic mix of dining, drinking, retail, services, gas stations, and single family homes. We're only a few short blocks from the Lady Bird Lake trail and head over Longhorn Dam, which pops you out onto a hiking, biking, and running loop that is several miles long. The boardwalk over the lake provides great views of downtown.
There are plenty of things in walking distance, and we recommend looking at our Guidebook for more details. Our favorites for food & groceries:
- JuiceLand on E Cesar Chavez, a smoothie & juice spot, approx. 3 minutes away
- Tacos Guerrero on Cesar Chavez & Pleasant Valley, the best breakfast tacos in town for only $2 a piece
- J Mueller BBQ at E 6th & Pedernales, approx. 8 minutes away
- HEB on E 7th, a grocery store, approx. 10 minutes away
- Counter Culture on E Cesar Chavez, a vegan restaurant, 2 blocks away
- Blue Owl Brewing, a sour-mashed beer micro brewery, 1 block away
- Juniper, a classy Italian restaurant with great wine and outdoor seating, 1 block away
- Hi Hat on E 6th, a gastropub, approx. 15 minutes away
- Counter Cafe on E 6th, a breakfast & lunch diner, approx. 15 minutes away
- Gourmands, a gastropub with gourmet sandwiches, approx. 15-20 minutes away
- Saigon Le Vendeur on E 7th, a delicious Vietnamese food truck, approx. 15 minutes away
- Launderette on Holly St at St Martinez Jr St has one of the best burgers in town plus a tasty rotating dessert menu.
... and many more wonderful options. If you prefer to drive to any of these you'll get there in less than 5 minutes.
Dogs are permitted on a case-by-case basis for an additional per visit fee of $25, and approval must be obtained ahead of a booking being made. The fee will be added to the booking through a booking alteration/special offer. Guests must keep their dogs supervised at all times when in the yard, leashed when outside the yard, and must pick up after them.
We are avid travelers ourselves, and love staying with AirBnB hosts any chance we get. We want to make your stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible, and are completely open to frank feedback on how to improve your time in the Kanga Tiny House.
It should be noted that we are currently working on some landscaping projects, as a result of completing the paved walkway for guest access to the Kanga (wrapped up January 2016). Please excuse the "under construction" view of the back yard.

The East Side is a wonderful, artsy, quirky place. It's still a little rough around the edges, as is the case in any gentrifying neighborhood. We always feel perfectly safe, and our street is well lit and comfortably "busy" with traffic and buses, while still being completely residential. We've never had issues with street parking. There's no side walk on our particular block (despite letters to the city) but it picks up on both sides of our block, and doesn't bother us much.

My boyfriend and I spent four nights in the Kanga house and had an amazing time exploring the city. Chad and Anna were fantastic and so on top of everything (even with the arrival of a little one RIGHT before we checked in!). The house was well-stocked with everything you'd need - from a first aid kit, to hair dryer/iron and even snacks and coffee. Be prepared to walk a little or make use of public transportation to get to other parts of town, but there's a lot happening in East Austin. We would most definitely stay again on a return trip!

Allison2015-09-22T00:00:00Z

Absolutely adored Kanga House! The space was the perfect size for our weekend get away. Anna was super friendly and the rental had tons of things that were useful even if we didn't need all of them: yogurt, milk, alternative milk, cereal, snacks, beer, sunscreen, bug repellent, you name it. It is a transitioning neighborhood near some great bars, coffee and tacos! It is super convenient to all of the Austin sites! Things to know before your stay: The slate walk ways is hard to navigate in flimsy sandals or with big rolling suitcases so be aware of that and have practical shoes and luggage you can carry. The neighbor has a dog that barked a lot in the middle of the night one evening. Also one evening the motion sensor light seemed to come on more than we expected in the middle of the night. Luckily the tiny house has great blackout curtains!

Kathryn2015-10-14T00:00:00Z

This tiny Kanga house has everything you need for a quiet and comfortable stay in a cool East Austin neighborhood near Town Lake and parks. Very private setting nestled in a corner of backyard. Easy walk to plenty of great food choices and Juiceland is half a block away. Chad is a friendly and attentive host. I wouldn't hesitate to stay again.

Lisa2016-08-26T00:00:00Z

Anna and Chad have a beautiful home and are very gracious hosts!

Katelyn2016-12-29T00:00:00Z

This place is clean and located in a great place. We were minutes from downtown, minutes from the airport, and 20 minutes from the Circuit of Americas.

John2017-04-24T00:00:00Z

We loved staying here and would recommend and stay here in the future! The area is really cool and a taste of Austin being on the East side. The Kanga is well stocked with everything you need including local beer, snacks, and even sunscreen. We met Chad and Anna once, super nice and willing to provide tons of suggestions. They even lent us a collapsible chair for the line at Franklin BBQ. The bed was super comfy, everything was spotless, and perfect amount of space for us and always tons of hot water for a shower. You can't go wrong here and the neighborhood is so cool!

Jackie2015-09-28T00:00:00Z

Anna and Chad were very responsive, friendly and helpful, providing lots of information about the area, bike trails, restaurants, music venues. The neighborhood provided a perfect Austin experience.

Tammy2015-07-26T00:00:00Z

Anna and Chad's tiny house is one of the coolest Airbnb places we have ever stayed at (and we have stayed in some great places). The location in east Austin is awesome. The amenities were such a wonderful surprise - just lovely and so thoughtful! The place is just as described. We had come down from Canada for some late season cycling in Texas and to be able to sit out on the porch and enjoy a glass of wine was terrific. Also, we loved meeting the dogs (Louis, the foster dog - we wanted to take him home...what a sweet guy and Anna and Chad's dog Hatch, who was quite shy but pretty cute nonetheless). We will absolutely look to stay here again next time we are in Austin!

We loved your condo! A buddy and I came down to Austin for Music, BBQ, and maybe a little drinkin'. Jason's place was perfect for (URL HIDDEN) would also be good for girl's weekends, 1 or 2 couples, and families with older kids. City living at it's best! You are 2 blocks from the best part of 6th Street with all it's eclectic shopping, nightlife and restaurants. This place is a great value and offers a lot of privacy. A great 2 Bedroom / 2 Bathroom layout. If you forced me to list one drawback, I'd have to say it's that there are a few homeless folks nearby as you'd find in any big city. No issues at all though. Private, gated parking for 2 cars was also a plus for us!

Stephen2016-09-29T00:00:00Z

Had a great experience at the loft apartment- the apartment is beautiful, has great bedrooms and common area. Loved the coffeemaker and the location. We walked to just about everything in central Austin including great bars just around the corner. Jason made check-in and check-out super easy.

Brian2012-06-04T00:00:00Z

Jason's place was lovely, as described and conveniently located. As a host Jason was super communicative, helpful and speedy. We had a great time!

Chela2016-12-14T00:00:00Z

Beautifully decorated apartment with great views of Downtown Austin. Just a few blocks from the action on 6th Street and Rainey Street. I would definitely recommend a stay here!

Delyanne2016-09-14T00:00:00Z

My girlfriends and I had a memorable first experience of Austin, Texas. I recently went to Austin for my 27th birthday. I must say Jason was a great host. He had thorough instructions, great tips, and was very accommodating. Jason's residence is modern and well kept. As a California gal, I felt at home and comfortable. Also the location of his residence was very convenient.

Caroline2016-02-22T00:00:00Z

Jason's place was fantastic! Best possible location for 6th Street bars & restaurants and easy walking distance to the Convention Center. Ideal! Furthermore, Jason's communication leading up to and during our stay was excellent. Getting keys and access to the condo was very easy. And the place was in impeccable order when we arrived...just like in the photos! I would highly recommend Jason's condo and will definitely plan on staying here again. Thanks Jason! Eric D

Eric2014-06-22T00:00:00Z

Jason's place is outstanding. Is beautiful, clean, has a tasty decoration and the location is unbeatable. He is also a great host, he covered all the details to make us feel comfortable during our stay, he provided very clear instructions for all the process and he also was ready for quickly answer my questions. I will look forward to stay at this place for my future visits.

Marcy's cottage is great! It's clean, comfortable, cozy, and in a quiet setting.

Marcy is a great host, and we hope to visit again. Thank you!

Adam2014-08-08T00:00:00Z

We really enjoyed our 3 night stay in the Garden Cottage. It was very homely and we always got a great nights sleep in the comfy bed. We loved meeting all of the pets living in the garden - especially the piggy! The location was convenient and we felt very safe in the neighborhood.

Claire2014-10-28T00:00:00Z

Marcella was great! as i mentioned in my other review for the airstream, we stayed in both the garden shed and the airstream, but the garden shed was my favourite! its set up is just darling and super cute, and a perfect space for a couple. the bathroom exceeded my expectations ( i wasnt sure what to expect, honestly) and everything was just as promised. its even more beautiful in person.

Jeni2015-03-12T00:00:00Z

Marcella's Garden Cottage was as described. This was a unique place that gave us the true Austin experience. It was clean and comfortable, with lots of animals and smiling faces around. I would recommend this stay for a couple.

Chris2014-08-28T00:00:00Z

Beautiful little cottage in a great part of town and a really welcoming family. Shame I was in such a rush and didn't get to hang out with you. Will certainly look to stay again when I'm next in town. Thanks!

James2014-05-18T00:00:00Z

We had such a lovely stay in this adorable cottage! The best part was probably the cuddle we had with Reggie on the amazingly comfortable bed. Everything was perfect!

Caitlin2016-02-10T00:00:00Z

Marcella was a great host and the house was great. Location was a bit far but shouldn't be an issue if you have a car.

Parking is a breeze on the street with no restrictions or permits required.

A wonderful place to stay in Austin. Steve is a fantastic host who was prompt with his responses and gave excellent suggestions. The cottage is in a lovely, mellow neighborhood with plenty of restaurants, bars, and cafes within walking distance. Other great areas of the city are easily accessible on foot, bike, or car. I was in town for work (on the UT campus) and vacation and found this location to be ideal. Highest recommendation!

Ian 2014-03-21T00:00:00Z

Beautiful cottage in a quiet neighborhood. Steve was very helpful and even had a page of recommended restaurants and stores in the area!

Aubrey2014-10-18T00:00:00Z

This place is so perfect and Steve is a great host! The cottage is beautiful and clean, comfortable and private. I was able to park in the driveway which was a plus, since I had a car full from moving cross country. I loved the backyard and the design of all the furniture! It's in a cute neighborhood and I was able to walk to great restaurants and coffee shops.

Kathleen2014-10-15T00:00:00Z

I can't say enough good things about this cottage and our lovely host, Steve! We got in late and Steve set everything up for our arrival. When we got in we found a bottle of red wine and the cleanest, most well appointed accommodations! The space is very well designed and immaculate. Steve very kindly left us a selection of breakfast and snack items too! The house is a convenient location for the downtown area and other spots in East Austin. Highly, highly recommend!

Jennifer2014-05-14T00:00:00Z

Although I never got the chance to meet with Steve in person due to busy schedules, I couldn't have felt more welcome. Steve kept in contact through out my stay and left a list of restaurants and stores that were nearby. Upon arrival, there was fresh fruit, snack bars and even a bottle of wine! The cottage was a perfect fit for my boyfriend and I for the weekend. Everything from toiletries to extra blankets were supplied. We walked to and from the metro rail everyday to go into town which is only 2 stops and very inexpensive. Cherrywood is a cute and quiet neighborhood. We had breakfast every morning at the Cherrywood Coffeehouse which is just a short walk from the house, highly recommend checking it out! I can't wait to stay with Steve again and explore all that Austin has to offer.

Hana2014-07-14T00:00:00Z

We needed last minute accommodations due to our standby flight schedule. We booked Steve's place while in line for Franklin BBQ and that was the right choice! The location was close to the restaurant, so after our epic wait for BBQ (no regrets), we were able to drive quickly to the house to sleep away our food coma. It also had a mini fridge, which was necessary for our BBQ leftovers. There was plenty of street parking right in front since it was a residential neighborhood. AC worked great and the bed was nice and firm which was more comfortable than the hotel we had stayed in the nights before. It was centrally located to most of the activities we had planned, which was a major plus! Steve and his wife were very sweet and helpful. Highly recommend this place for those that are looking for a central location.

Sarah2014-08-26T00:00:00Z

I booked Steve's cottage for one of my bridesmaids during my wedding weekend in Austin. It was PERFECT. Just as described...great location, clean, etc. Steve was great about communication and even had the fridge stocked! I definitely recommend the Cottage to someone planning on visiting Austin and will remember it for future trips to the city for me too.

Jessica2014-09-28T00:00:00Z

My wife and I loved our stay! Steve greeted us warmly upon arrival and gave us a quick tour of the place. He also provided a nice list of recommended restaurants and coffee shops. We loved how close we were to everything (within 1-10 minute drives) and how comfortable the place was. Thanks Steve!

WORST AIRBNB EXPERIENCE EVER! Save your money, do not book here! First off, this place is not as advertised. It looks clean and well manicured in the pictures but it's falsely advertised. The lawn was past overgrown and the whole place just felt dirty. The bathroom was the dirtiest room since all three guest rooms share the same bathroom. It felt and looked like a gas station restroom. Second, it is in a very shady neighborhood with very limited parking. You will most likely not feel safe here. Third, I don't think they wash the sheets between guests. I say this because I was given permission to show up early and witnessed the cleaning process. Check in was at 3pm and the cleaning person didn't show up until 2:45pm (not enough time to wash). We thought she might bring out new sheets but she just spread out and tucked the used ones. Gross!!!! That is unacceptable! Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else.

Julia's house is charming and very accessible. It is in a cool location in East Austin, only about 5 minutes driving away from downtown and I35. The main house has a key code to enter, and each room has its own separate key code as well, making it extra secure if there are other guests staying. The house is simple and clean, with a binder full of resources (places to eat, directions, activities) if you are from out of town. Great price in a great location!

Caroline2015-12-04T00:00:00Z

A lovely hotel style Airbnb with great security (code lock on front door and individual room doors). Full kitchen for shared use and shared bathroom, but the entire house was kept very tidy and overall it was comfortable. Location was great, near many bars and restaurants. Highly recommend staying here if you are looking for a private and affordable stay!

Victoria2016-08-06T00:00:00Z

Comfortable, clean and easy

Grace2016-04-25T00:00:00Z

Great place! Right near downtown Austin. Clean and easy stay.

adrianna2016-08-17T00:00:00Z

Went to Austin for a business trip so I came late to the house (around midnight). I didn't understand how the door lock system worked exactly, so I texted Chris & Loni expecting that I might end up getting a room somewhere else because its too late. But guess what? They replied and helped me get in. The room had a huge queen bed with a couple of towels set for me in case I needed a shower. I felt welcomed coming into a very nice and clean place. The internet was good and fast. Overall, I had a good experience.

This large master suite has a king size bed, and huge closet. Private bathroom with garden tub and separate shower. 7.5 miles from COTA, 10 miles from downtown. 10 mins walk to bus #333. Full sized futon bed available for 3rd and 4th guest.

Jonn made arrangements with a friend to ready the room, of which it was. Room was clean, comfortable, and spacious.

Erica2017-02-08T00:00:00Z

John was really accommodating and always replied to our messages within minutes! The room was lovely and everything was really clean. We had a great experience!

Shanzay2017-07-27T00:00:00Z

Wonderful experience here again. Jonn was able to accommodate on short notice, enlisting the help of family to ensure the room was ready. We are very grateful to Jonn!

Sean and Brittany2015-10-22T00:00:00Z

John was a great host. His house is in a really nice neighborhood, and like he says it is a about 10 minutes away from the city, but we didn't have a problem with that because we drove. My friend and I came to austin for a day of play and needed a cheaper place to stay. The master room was huge and really cool. The room was clean and he even had netflix, hulu, wifi, and cable so that was nice. We didn't really get to meet him in person, but everything that we needed we had. He is really good on communication also. If yo need to talk to him about anything he messages back really quickly. I would come back to stay here anytime!

andrea2015-06-14T00:00:00Z

My wife and I had a very comfortable and relaxing stay at Jonn's beautiful home. The master suite was massive and the king bed was just what we needed after a long night of driving. Jonn was very communicative and friendly over email making sure everything was prepared before our arrival. We didn't get a chance to meet him in person but he seemed very nice. The gigantic room was a little chilly but extremely cozy. The bathroom also didn't have any hand soap but overall we had a really great stay there and definitely recommend it.

Stephen2015-11-24T00:00:00Z

We had flight issues and therefore spent very little time at Johns place and did t get a chance to meet him, but his house is nice, clean, and comfortable. He was basically the easiest person ever to communicate with and made everything thoughtlessly easy for us. The location is outside the city a bit, and very close to at least one state park that was a trip highlight even though we were only there a short time. Highly recommend!

Cayce2016-04-21T00:00:00Z

We felt at home while in John's suite. The space is amazing, full of room, bright and clean. Check in and out was very easy and communication was great. Thank you! A+++

Gustavo2016-06-13T00:00:00Z

The location is a little out of the way if you want to stay right in Austin this isn't for you. It is however a great value, extremely clean, and John is very responsive to any and all questions.

Our pool guesthouse is available to those displaced by Hurricane Harvey. It has one bedroom with queen bed and a common room with kitchenette, dining table, and TV area. We have two air mattresses that can also be used on the floor. The bathroom has a washer and dryer. Although not large, the poolhouse is very comfortable and has beautiful views over downtown Austin and the greenbuilt. We offer this for free to anyone displaced by the Hurricane. It is otherwise not available for rent.

It was much better than expected ... They gave us a place to stay during the hurricane Harvey. Brent and his family were very nice to us. I will never forget him and his family. So thank you very much again. It was beatiful. Best regards. Mehmet

Mehmet2017-08-27T00:00:00Z

Brent and his family were amazing they took me in during Hurricane Harvey gave me a roof over my head shelter clothes on my back and food, they even invited me in and hosted dinner, the size and capacity of family's love and understanding are unmatched, I felt at home. Very proud to call Brent the #1 Host on AirBnB!

Charlie2017-09-05T00:00:00Z

The host canceled this reservation 3 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Kimberly2017-08-28T00:00:00Z

Brent and Hilary were super awesome. We were in Austin during Hurricane Harvey. We came from Port Arthur and were unable to go back home because of the flooding and roads being closed. They were very accommodating and wonderful during our stay. We were so comfortable even during the uncomfortable situation we were in. They let us use their pool and pool house and even invited us to their house party. We would recommend them in a heartbeat.

This is a lovely spacious room with very beautiful natural lighting! This room has no door, it instead has a giant black curtain to separate it. It has a very comfortable queen sized bed, endtable, several chairs and a comfy Love seat couch! Perfect for guests looking for a comfortable, quick place to sleep. You will have a shared half bathroom that doesn't have a shower. If you need shower and no guests are in upstairs rooms you may use them, if there are guests you must ask them.

Hello there!
This is the PERFECT way to travel inexpensively. There are three air mattresses with clean sheets and pillows.
It has plenty of natural light, fresh air, and even a small (private) patio!
You're welcome to use the kitchen (free) and/or on-site coin washing machine/drier ($1.50).
It's a 10 minute walk to UT Austin, and 15 minute walk to downtown Austin (Texas Capitol), so there's plenty of great food, bars, and things to do and see close by.

THIS IS A HURRICANE HARVEY LISTING ONLY. We would love to open our rental's doors to any folks (and their pets!) who have been displaced by Harvey, free of charge. Furnishing is minimal--two double air mattresses and a double bed, a desk, some chairs--but we live next door and can provide essentials as needed.

We were unable to make it to stay due to the weather from Hurricane Harvey. Michael opened his rental for free to evacuees and was the most hospitable person ever. I can't say enough how thankful I am for people like him.

Our place is a perfectly situated landing pad for new arrivals. We are quick 15 minute drive to almost every corner of the city most of the time, and we love giving new Austinites a warm welcome. We are totally a smoke-free home.
Please note. In addition to the state hotel charge that AirBnB will collect, we must charge a 9% Occupancy Tax to the City of Austin. I will request this from you via AirBnB the first day of your stay. Any stay over 30 days is exempt.

We are located right at the intersection of two major highways. Far enough so it's quiet, close enough for easy access. It's perfect for people coming to town for work and want to stay awhile before investing in an apartment lease or house. We are about 15 minutes from downtown Austin.

Our neighborhood, Heritage Hills, is a quiet, tucked away gem. We are so close to everything, and we have ample space inside and out. There are delicious restaurants nearby including an El Salvadoran place and a yummy taco cart. Mueller is just down the Road with Austin staples Torchy's and Verts Kebab. If you want to stay in, Eat24 and Lash, both apps, will deliver. Also, there is a great microbrewery less than three miles from our place called the Black Star COOP that is coincidentally at the Crestview Train Station. Near that BSCOOP there is Fuzzy Tacos, Fat Cats Coffee, Tous Les Jours Korean bakery, Michi Ramen and Stiles Switch BBQ all great places. For entertainment and activities go online to the Austin Chronicle.

Great host!

Ulises2017-06-05T00:00:00Z

I must say that Amanda and Dan are by far/so far the best Airbnb experience I have had to date. The room is quiet and comfortable and sharing the bathroom is no problem at all. Amanda and Dan really make you feel like you are home. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful. If I am ever in Austin again and need an Airbnb, Amanda and Dan's place will be the first place I look for availability

Christina Hope2017-03-09T00:00:00Z

Great place, great people, greats pets. Amanda is a very accommodating host, very helpful knowledgable with suggestions of things to do while there. Location is great as its only a $12 ride (Fasten) to downtown but away from the hustle and bustle in a quiet neighborhood. I'll definitely stay here again!

Edward2016-09-13T00:00:00Z

Had a very quiet and restful time at Amanda's place. Great information for activities and events, plus a list of her recommendations for great food and places to have a cocktail or Two. Would recommend Amanda's place to future visitors

Steven2017-02-17T00:00:00Z

This is an awesome value for money.

Matthew2017-04-14T00:00:00Z

Amanda's house is exactly as described, a great value, and she and her husband were very welcoming, had great tips and suggestions! I would whole-heartedly recommend this place to anyone.

Hannah2016-12-27T00:00:00Z

Amanda is a fine, courteous host. Her home is located in a safe, pleasant part of the city, a neighborhood that is also central to all of Austin's riches.

If you are looking for a convenient and private setting, my guesthouse is perfect for you! The location is only a few blocks away from Caffe Medici, Jeffrey's Restaurant, Josephine House, Zocalo Cafe and Fresh Plus Market. It is also close to downtown. There are a ballet barre and a pilates chair in the room for those who need to keep moving.
My place is good for couples, solo adventurers, business travelers, and families (with kids).

My guesthouse is a separate building standing next to the main house where I live. The space has a spacious bedroom, a kitchenette, and a bathroom with a shower, a large get bath and a toilet. When the secondary bed (air mattress) is requested, it will be placed in the same room where the main bed is in.

This neighborhood is mainly residential, but it is conveniently close to many businesses. Within a few minuets walk: restaurants, cafes, grocery store, hair salon, chiropractor and laundry service. Within ten minutes walk: more restaurants, parks, gym and massage salons.

This tipi is one of our 10+ AirBnB units for rent at the Community First Village, a 27-acre master planned community for the homeless in East Austin.
There is a nearby individual-style bathhouse and outdoor kitchen. Gardens, chickens, goats, donkeys, bees, blacksmithing, timberframing and more are happening right outside your window. It's a Village for the chronically homeless that is visited by thousands annually who come to experience the Village through our AirBnB as well as volunteer work!

WELCOME TO THE TIPI!
Enjoy the unique experience of staying in an authentic American Indian Tipi! Enjoy connecting with nature through your stay inside our tipi's while listening to the chirping birds and crackling nearby fire pits. You’ll love the views, the location, the outdoors space, the ambiance. It's a great place for couples, solo adventurers, and families (with kids).
Our large tipi's house up to 7 comfortably people and have cots inside to sleep on. Guests will need to provide their own bedding. Fans are also provided and help keep the air circulating throughout your stay!
Our tipi's are adjacent to an Alamo Drafthouse outdoor movie theater at the front of the Community First Village. For more information on the village search Mobile Loaves and Fishes online.

While we are an AirBnB, there are many different exciting aspects to our community. There are tiny house communities around the country, but there are none on 27 acres. We will grow to 250 people this year. The Community First Village is a $17 million dollar community specifically built for the richest people in Austin, but we only rent to the chronically homeless. Everyday we get visitors from around the country for tours and for the wisdom we've received in the last 18 years of working with the chronically despised of our city. Our experience is that transformation is not only possible, its beautiful; for you, for me, and for everyone.
We are established by Mobile Loaves & Fishes, an Austin-area, Christian nonprofit.

Barret was a great host, I highly recommend staying here. The showers were the nicest camping showers I've ever used. The Teepee was great, after a cool shower and the fans it amazingly enough got kind of chilly. I would stay here again.

nikki2017-08-13T00:00:00Z

My kids and I loved this place so much that we are already planning a return trip :) It was a wonderful place!!!

Amy2017-04-08T00:00:00Z

This place was a steal! Be sure to communicate where to check in before you get there. I booked a day before & had a bit of trouble checkin in. Otherwise, this is a great place. You won't see anything else like it for the value!

Cassandra2017-07-14T00:00:00Z

Its a great place to chill. Kind of far from downtown, but there is a bus stop inside the camp. I had a good experience staying here.

Renato2017-07-11T00:00:00Z

Bring your own lighter if you want to start a fire. They have lots of fun areas to hang out and socialize with the other guests/residents. I hope you like chickens/roosters :) we do and it was awesome!

Lauren2017-04-09T00:00:00Z

Everything was more than we could have expected for the price we paid. So many more fun activities and things to see and do than were listed. Great culture, fun atmousphere. Host Barret was nice, other guest were nice and quite, really wish we could have stayed longer! Thank you!

Frank2017-06-11T00:00:00Z

Close to town, but also a cool spot to check out itself. Some of the residents may give you tours of their tiny homes if you walk the village, as an extra perk. Great value, July is hot, to state the obvious.

Christine2017-07-07T00:00:00Z

A fun tipi to stay in and the road it is next to is very quiet. If you approach it like camping you will have a blast.

One of the most famous streets in Austin, and the main run on Austin 78702 East Side. This ZIP code has been referred to as the hippest zip code in the nation. We're not saying it is! It just happened a couple of years ago from some blog and it went viral and we typically placed very high and most rankings of cities. But you will be able to see mustaches, one gear bicycles, all looking like they just stepped off the set of Napoleon Dynamite 2 - they're also normal people in East Austin.
